Does that work with web sites that are password protected?
Is it possible to pass the credentials through the URL in such fashion:
https://username:password@moviefile.mkv
If the website has been “coded” to accept user credentials in the URL then there is no reason that wouldn’t work, but that’s down to the web-site and not Infuse.
Further, I wouldn’t in practice expect many web-sites to allow this, as it would be rather old-school web dev.
Sites are more likely to use different and more complex methods of authentication now.

The website is Easynews, a Usenet provider.
I can do that with VLC but it doesn’t seem to work with inFuse.
I would expect a usenet provider to use nntp and not http, maybe that is the difference. Unless Easynews allows users to access news articles through a web front-end to their nntp service of course.
Easynews has a web front-end.
I’ve managed to fix my problem: it seemed that the embedding of username: password only worked with their links provided by their “Basic Search 2.0” interface.
Thanks for your replies.
